Your daily horoscope: June 4, 2025
The only thing that can come between you and your dream is the irrational belief that you don't really deserve to succeed. Not only do you deserve it but even your rivals can see it is your turn to sit on top of the world – so get climbing! You may think that a problem of some sort requires a complicated solution but you could not be more wrong. Stand back from the situation and view it as a whole rather than from one particular angle. The answer will jump out at you. Your desire to help a friend or work colleague get themselves out of a hole may be well intentioned but the planets warn you would be wise to keep your distance. This is one mess they must be encouraged to clear up themselves. The moment a negative thought enters your head you must grab it and eject it and refuse to let it creep back into your thinking. A positive attitude is an absolute must today, especially when dealing with matters of a personal nature. Listen to your inner voice today and make sure you follow what it tells you to the letter. Ignore those who say you should be doing this or doing that and trust the higher part of your nature that already knows the answers you need. You will have to split your time between working on a creative task you enjoy and a chore you dislike. Put as much effort into the latter as you do the former, otherwise you may have to go back later on and do it again. You are right to have your suspicions that a friend or colleague is being less than honest with you, so keep your wits about you and don't let them get away with anything illegal or unethical. Your reputation is on the line as well. The more you know about a new partner or colleague the less likely it is their actions will take you by surprise, so do some research and make sure you are well prepared. The planets warn you cannot afford to leave anything to chance. The cosmic wheels are turning in your favor again and between now and the start of next week your outlook on life will improve by leaps and bounds. Start thinking about your next big adventure, and who to take with you on the journey. Focus on improving a personal relationship and put anything to do with your money situation or your career on the back burner. Someone you love dearly feels you have been neglecting them of late, so make amends over the next 24 hours. A challenge of some kind needs to be dealt with immediately, so put your social life on hold for the rest of the day while you sort it out. The more of an effort you make now the less likely it is to flare up again later on. Do what you can to impress someone in a position of power but don't go too far and fall all over yourself to get in their good books. They can sense a fraud a mile off, so be honest about your intentions and don't overstate your abilities. When both Mercury and Jupiter move in your favor at the start of next week you will feel much happier about your long-term prospects. Until then, keep a low profile and work on improving your mind rather than your reputation or bank balance. Discover more about yourself at

Sam Thompson receives a motivational message of support from JoJo Siwa as he gushes pal Chris Hughes is full of happiness after pair confirmed romance
Sam Thompson was joined by his pal Chris Hughes for the second day of his gruelling 260-mile endurance challenge. And Chris' new girlfriend JoJo Siwa made sure to send her support to the former Made In Chelsea star as she sent him a motivational message. Appearing on Hits Radio, the singer, 22, told Sam: 'No matter what burn yourself out, burn those little legs out, keep it pushing!' 'You're gonna be proud if you do it. In five days from now you are either going to be really proud or you're gonna be like "Damn I probably could have done it if I had tried a little harder. 'So don't have that regret.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Chris, 32, and JoJo officially confirmed their relationship this weekend after sending fans wild with weeks of loved up speculation. Congratulating his friend amid his new blossoming romance after hearing the message from JoJo, Sam remarked on Chris' happiness. 'He looks incredible happy, and I have told him to just chase the happiness that's the most important thing in this world. 'And I am really happy for you mate you look over the moon and it makes me happy. So anything that makes you happy keep cracking on.' Chris joked: 'I said to Sam on the way round "keep it pushing", and that's her terminology rubbed off on me.' Sam has been given the task to travel a mammoth 260-mile journey on both bike and foot to deliver the match ball to its new home in Old Trafford, with the hope of raising much-needed funds for Unicef. To complete the challenge, the I'm A Celeb star is expected to run a marathon for five days and cycle in between, ensuring the ball arrives on June 6, just in time for kickoff on Sunday, June 15. Sam, who is suffering from a calf injury, was soaked head-to-toe by the heavy rain during Tuesday's challenge. The star decided to cycle the remaining miles after revealing he 'popped his calf' and was strapped into a medical table just the day before. As Sam looked visibly downcast, Chris gushed: 'He's emotional, he's upset and it's tough because he's got to go again and it's relentless. 'I was saying when we were going around I've so much admiration for you Sam because I'm struggling with this... knowing that I'm going to stop in a minute and Sam has to carry on this amazing journey, raising so much money, it's warrior like... 'Please donate because Sam is going through the wringer here, I've seen the tears, I've seen the grit and the determination - keep supporting the boy!' Earlier in the day, Chris smirked when he was grilled about his relationship with live on This Morning. The former Love Island star appeared on the daily ITV show from Towcester where he was covering Sam's Soccer Aid challenge. During the segment, host Ben Shephard asked Chris a cheeky question about him and JoJo. 'Can we just say, because obviously we're all talking about it. Congratulations on the relationship, we're all very excited, have we decided whether it's Hughes-wa... what's the power couple name?' Ben asked. Co-host Cat eagerly added: 'What is it going to be?' 'They call it Co-Jo, that's the one they're all going for,' Chris replied. The two presenters gushed that they liked the name and Chris commented it 'rolls off the tongue'. JoJo and Chris have sparked frenzied speculation about their relationship status over the past few weeks since they met in the Celebrity Big Brother house back in April. Their relationship has grown from platonic to romantic and the Dance Moms star confirmed that she and Chris have made their relationship official, and she's started calling him her boyfriend in an interview with Capital Radio. On Sunday, Chris sent fans into a frenzy when he shared a steam bedroom snap with JoJo on Snapchat. Sharing the sweet image of himself and JoJo cuddled in bed together, he captioned the image: 'Sleeping beauty.' While in an interview with The Guardian, JoJo gushed about her blossoming romance with Chris, when asked whether things between them were still platonic. She said: 'It's not platonic anymore, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way.' The Dance Moms star also hit back at speculation that their relationship is a 'PR stunt,' saying: 'Clearly, you've never been around us. I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. 'Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never [before] been in pain from smiling so much.' JoJo also appeared on Sunday's edition on Sunday Brunch, and fought back tears as she emotionally shared how Chris has been embraced by her family since he first flew to the US to surprise her for her 22nd birthday last month. She said: 'She loves him, she does love him. My parents think the absolute world of him, and him and my Dad are like best friends, Chris was actually telling me this yesterday, they went to the spa together yesterday. 'They're literally best friends, Mom Siwa she absolutely adores him. I love watching her watch us, because I've never seen my mom so happy, and it's... it's... I could cry. 'Honestly, it makes me happy to have everybody act as... it feels like we're a family, it feels like he's been in my family for how ever many years it feels like forever. 'He gets along as well as I do. I think he loves me because of my parents!'

4 Ways to Trick Yourself Into Taking a Walk
I love a meandering walk, but sometimes I need a little motivation to get up and go. Lately, I've been tempting myself outside by visiting a dove that's nesting in my yard: Every morning, I check to see if her eggs have hatched. Once I've got my sneakers on and left the house, I tend to keep walking. Rob Walker, author of 'The Art of Noticing,' said that when he walks, he likes to impose a mission or build a framework around it to add a little novelty and engagement to an activity that is 'literally pedestrian.' 'Otherwise, you can easily end up on your phone, or in your head where all you do is ruminate over the deadline that you're missing or the smartass remark that someone made to you,' he said. 'And there could be dragons walking around and you wouldn't notice them.' It's worthwhile to do whatever it takes to stay on the path, because the benefits of regular walks are well-documented. Walking lowers the risk of many health problems including heart disease, anxiety and depression, and diabetes, said Stacy Imagbe, an assistant professor of kinesiology at Morehouse College. And you don't need to do 10,000 steps a day, either; even 4,000 daily steps have been shown to have benefits. If you need some motivation, here are some of Walker's more creative ways to take a walk. Get outside and tune into the sounds around you, Walker said. 'We're so visually oriented that we miss a lot of things that are happening to our other senses,' he said. Want all of The Times?

Don't Just Coach Your Employees—Teach Them
Sydney Finkelstein, a professor of management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, encourages leaders to approach their direct reports like teachers. As Finkelstein explains, being a teacher-leader means continually meeting face to face with employees to communicate lessons about professionalism, points of craft, and life. He says it's easy to try and that teaching is one of the best ways to motivate people and improve their performance. Finkelstein is the author of ' The Best Leaders Are Great Teachers ' in the January–February 2018 issue of Harvard Business Review. Key episode topics include: leadership, mentoring, motivating people, developing employees, coaching, careers, managing people, performance management
